Course Objective and Content
| Course Objectives: | This course is designed with the aim to provide students with an overview of contemporary art practices through a study of major artistic and critical approaches since the second half of the 20th century. The course will start with an examination of modernism and continue with a discussion of minimalist and conceptualist tendencies and other critical movements that led to the emergence of what we now call contemporary art. Through a study of art works, critical texts and visits to exhibitions the course intends to introduce the shifting course of thinking from modernism towards global contemporary art. Rather than a chronological and exhaustive survey, the course will investigate key moments and theories that formed the critical and contextual framework that continue to inform contemporary art practice and theory. |
